As people with mental illnesses. Everything is harder. From studying for a degree. To maintaining a healthy relationship with your partner,family, friends. It’s hard to have an awareness of yourself. Be disciplined and keep your illness. Becoming a burden to others as you know. How misunderstood we can be with our actions. So in return we are loyal. More loving to does that accept our authentic self. But what happens when you hold on to a relationship. That becomes toxic because they know you. The real you. How hard, it is to start a friendship with someone. When do you disclose your mental illness? To me it takes time,to allow someone into my inner sanctum .
When do stop trying to loose weight to a society’s standards? Knowing that it’s affecting your health. The extra workouts that lead to injury. The goal that you continue to fail? The money invested on a dream in creative arts. When do you start to realize you need to give up? When what you’re doing is affecting your overall mental health. When you stubbornly refuse to give up. You run into dangerous situations leading to a crisis. Even if it’s positive. The fact is when you obsess over that goal. You will go through unnecessary stress and anxiety and finally psycally illness.
When do you give up? You don’t. You stop look all around and see how far you’re journey has led you. Check your mental compass and redirect your thoughts towards your journey. Just like you stop to look or ask for directions. You should stop and ask your therapist to help you see things clearly and different ways toward a new direction.
